Hey Hephappy!
Why did you leave XDA? We need you!
Your ROMs were first of the kind for our device. Moreover, good developers are leaving development of this device because they have moved on to another device.
Optimus One users want good ROMs too!

Hephappy left xda but still actively working on P500

Feedback - [DEV][ROM][4.4.2] [CM11] KITKAT for LG-P500[WIP][VER-1]

I've been using this KITKAT Rom (from 27. December) for 5 days now and I'm really impressed of it - thx goes to mukulsoni and hephappy.

My feedback here, since I'm not allowed to post on a dev thread:
- Battery backup is acceptable with 2 days for me (Wifi off, Location off, low usage)
- Installed Calendar from PlayStore and calendar syncronization is working
- If you do not want to use Hangeout as you default sms client you can install 8sms from the PlayStore instead (which I did)
- Not Working:
- Wifi Tethering (@mukulsoni please add to not working list)
- voice search does not work for me (maybe someone else knows how to get it working?)
- overall performance (smartassV2, 240-710) is good but not snappy (I'm using a class 10 8GB sdcard).

Conclusion:
@all who are interested in KITKAT on our old P500, give the linked ROM a try - you won't be disappointed.

Did not like the Dec 27 build.
I am running the Omni preview which is more or less cm-11. Favorably impressed.
Offline voice search will not work on our armv6 device. Thanks Google.
Online voice does work. Use voice dictation or swype/dragon to get it into google search. Must tap search, but ...

Actually, something before getting the voice is what armv6 stops. I cannot reproduce how I got there, but I had it actually, init, take my voice and get results!! Once, just once. So ... who knows?

So it seems that online voice search is not working for now.
Why do you prefer the Omni preview? Could you please give some more details?

I took this because this is what is being developed right now, where fixes are going.

On-line voice does work. Go to settings->language&input->voice recognition. Since you are likely running with Google Search around, you will see two (count 'em) google options here. Choose the other one.
If you only see one, you need to install the old VoiceSearch.

Feedback - [DEV][ROM][4.4.2] [CM11] KITKAT for LG-P500[WIP][VER-3]

Changes between Ver1 and Ver3 I encountered
- battery consumption seems to be improved a little bit
- stock SMS/MMS app included now (no need for Hangout or 8sms)
- "national roaming" support seems to be gone now (new MVNO Settins are unclear for me - any hints are welcome)
- camera problems
- autofocus does not work anymore - focus does not go green (worked on Ver1)
- choosing HDR option leeds to FC of camera app (to disable HDR you have to clean App Settings)

Trying to record a video freezed the phone (gave me an FC on Ver1) - had to remove the battery.

Experiences from other users are welcome.

Ver6-New:
I am not able to install this version oder version 5 - status 7 error (some symlinks missing)

A new experimental build has been released at Jenkins.cm_p500-userdebug-cm-11.0:victory:

can not install Ver6-New - symlinks missing

I am not able to install this version over version 5 - status 7 error (some symlinks missing)

Has anybody a clue? I already downloaded this version twice.
I had no problems installing the old Ver6 before. Unfortunately I've deleted the old Ver6 ;-(.

Wrong thread.

Wrong thread.

I am not allowed to post in dev thread, so please be lenient towards me.

Back to my update problem: I already checked md5 hash and in Addition I repartioned and formatted my sdcard, formatted system and tried to flash via recovery (ver from 16th january) - but same error.
Is it possible that system of this rom is almost full and that some memory blocks of my system storage is dead? It is just an assumption or guess, but if too few memory could cause such an upgrade failure, which apps are secure to remove?

Once again, thx for any hints.

Ok, now try flashing any older cm 10.1 or 10.2 over the new recovery (jan16) and let me know the status. You can write on my thread after completing your 10th post.

I already installed version 5 which didn't cause any problems. But I will try an older cm version in addition. I'll post the result afterwards.

@mukulsoni: I installed 10.1.6 (hephappy) without any problems.
Could you please provide the old Version6 rom again. I want to install this version until there is a (I find) a solution for my specific problem.
Thanks in advance.

Strange, you are able to install version 5 but not 6! anyways here is the version 6 old link but install it over version 5 only. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49845686&postcount=482

Thank you for the link. I flashed that version 6 over version 5 sucessfully. As you said, it is really strange that i can not install the 6-new version. But for now I am happy with it. If you are able to find any possible explaination I am still curious to know of course.
